Nothing Gold Can Stay
By Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
I decided to update this journal entry. Seeing as how I've never seen that movie "The Outsiders", I didn't understand that it was famous for that. I've always loved this poem and to me, it's not about the nature imagery. It's about innosence and how sad we are when we realize that it's gone. No matter how much we resist, we will grow up and life will stain us.
